What do reviewers say about Dragon and Sahara?
Saffron and cinnamon hit hard upfront, but give it time. The frankincense and vanilla create something unexpectedly soft in the drydown. This is not a safe blind buy, but for those who want presence.Dragon
Saffron here doesn't shout. It settles into the skin like late afternoon light, warm, unhurried, impossible to replicate. This is sweet without apology, but never cloying.Sahara
